Need fellow Leos opinion

Hello my fellow Leos, it's my first time posting a thread here even though I've been a long time lurker lol. I need your opinion here to tell me if this is a Leo thing or if it's just me needing help.

So lately I have been having a lot of disappointments, but mostly with myself. I feel that I am not a good friends at all. I expect a whole lot from my friend, and when they do not fulfill my expectation I tend to think that they are not 'worth' it anymore and then it's hard for me to give my all to them. And plus on top of that I have become very judgmental lately, I cannot understand why people do certain things which I think is wrong. That is not a good thing either because then I sort of look down on them and it ruins our friendship. I hear that Leos are supposed to be outgoing and have a lot of friends, yet that's not the case with me. Well, I do have tons of acquaintances but I feel that none of them can understand me in a deeper level.

What should I do now? 😢 I want to be less selfish and self-centered, and less judgmental but it's so darn hard to do it. I really wish I could be as accepting as my Pisces or Taurus friends. Anyone ever experiencing this? 😢

I agree with splitnconfused - Leos are considered social butterflies, but honestly, there are few who we consider true friends.

It is hard to not be judgmental, but my thought is not to be so hard on yourself. Maybe you are being picky, or maybe you are not surrounding yourself with the right kind of people.

Keep searching for "your people" they are out there! Good luck 🙂

Leos are indeed very outgoing and often appear as social butterflies but in reality they have very few real friends and by this I mean the kind of friends who meet their expectations in terms of being loyal towards them, being able to guard their secrets and having high standards for honesty and transparency. The trouble is that Leos don't always put these same expectations on themselves and end up feeling not only disappointed in others but also in themselves. They're often tougher on others than on themselves.

Yes, I can totally relate to that. In my mind there is this ideal type of friendship, but often times I feel that I've failed to be a good friend. I agree that perhaps I put too high expectations not only to people but to myself as well.

My advice to you is that every time you feel selfish, self-centered and judgmental, remind yourself that you're not so perfect, so give these friends the benefit of the doubt and remember that one day will come when you will be needing these very same friends.

You are absolutely right. I am a sensitive Leo and sometimes tend to think the worst of people (that they don't appreciate and respect me, etc) when in fact they were just oblivious. I will keep your suggestion in mind.

Thank you for your helpful insight. 🙂

Well, I think it is me that's being picky. When I start to find fault in like, 80% of people that I met, I kinda realize that it's not them, it's me. I need to be less judgmental and self centered. Geez it's hard being a Leo isn't it. 😢

Thank you for your response, it's always nice to hear from a fellow Leo. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only Leo that has few friends haha.

I've felt the same way but had the problem of not wanting to hear criticism from my friends. My life was a mess but didn't want to hear and not see that those who tried to help me were my true friends. Guess my pride got in the way. Thankfully they stuck by me when I finally came around and that really is the true test of a friend. One who can give it to me straight that I respect and one I can do the same with. We help each other and be there always for one another. Anything less is disposable as harsh as that sounds.
